Flip Video Mino

 

We've seen the Ultra, now here's the Mino - a slimmer version of Flip's pocket camcorder.

Flip Mino review

 

With the world going hi-def, it seems a strange time for dirt-cheap, USB camcorders to become hot property. But this netbook moment in shooting video is all thanks to two things: YouTube, and the Flip Video. Of course, being the original web camcorder...

Flip Mino

 

A minor improvement over the Flip Video Ultra, but an improvement nonetheless, the Flip Mino is a fun camcorder, until you realise you want your home videos to look the bomb.

Still extremely user-friendly. It's lighter than its predecessor and has a handy editing feature now

Still no HD option, and why the piddly 2GB memory

Flip Mino

 

The Flip Mino camcorder features a 1.5-inch TFT display and, thanks to a 1/4 inch VGA CMOS sensor, captures video at a 640 x 480 resolution at 30fps. It also boasts a 2x digital zoom, powers up in four seconds and has a battery life of four hours. It...

There’s no easier or quicker way to get your real world antics online than the Flip, and the £20 price hike over the earlier model is justified by the rechargeable battery alone. If you’re anything but a YouTube junky, though, you might find a...

Flip Mino

 

Cheap as chips -- but is it cheap enough?

Simplistic user interface, small and attractive design, inbuilt USB jack

Only slightly cheaper than a fully fledged camcorder, limited functions and memory

With its rechargeable battery and ultra-sleek design, the Mino is probably the best Flip cam yet. However, with an RRP of over $300 it is perhaps a teensy bit overpriced for what it offers.

Pure Digital Flip Mino Camcorder

 

When it comes to YouTube-friendly pocket camcorders, the Mino is king, but for a price.

Good video quality, Sleek, pocketable, easy to use

Slow and buggy video-uploading software, Pricey ; buttons too touch-sensitive
